We have an infinite capacity to love, but when you We have an infinite capacity to love, but when you wrap up your love and give it to someone, they expect all of it. And that’s what you think too—that you’re giving them everything you’ve got. You really do. Until you realize that love is end-less, bottom-less, boundary-less. The more you give, the more gushes out. It spills over, refusing to be contained in neat little parcels, swelling like a river after a flash flood. And in the end, it doesn’t matter which part was whose, because in the end it’s all one, like streams merging into the ocean Leylah Attar #love #bliss #endlesslove #infinitelove #sunshine #happiness
Sita Ramam Review: A Picturesque & Charming Love S Sita Ramam Review: A Picturesque & Charming Love Story Breathtaking Visuals. Beautiful Music. Ravishing Actors With Crackling Chemistry. A Poignant Romance Worth Watching - With A Nudge For Humanity! Sita Ramam is an epic story set in 1960s and 1980s - a time of simplicity, snail mails, steam engines and landline phones. A modern telling of Ramayana where a Pakistan-origin student Afreen (Rashmika Mandana) is the Hanuman tasked with handing over Indian Army's Rama's (Dulquer Salmaan) letter to Sita (Mrunal Thakur). During the pursuit of this task, the hot-headed India-hater Afreen discovers true meaning of love, hope and sacrifice which change her perspective. And we discover the elegant and engaging love story of Rama and Sita. And the movie has a similar ending like all the greatest love stories and all 'divine and pure love stories'! Dulquer Salmaan oozes charisma and innocence - an epitome of virtues. Our Rama is straight from Rajshri-Barjatya movies - the classic Prem! Mrunal Thakur showcases a plethora of colors with her layered and textured performance in an amazing handmade canvas paint movie. She is glamorous, confident, alluring and vulnerable! Rashmika is impressive. Vishal Chandrasekhar's music is awesome and cinematography is astounding - each frame is composed beautifully. Excellent dialogues transcend the movie beyond just being a love story - Ram tells a terrorist that hopefully he can discover real Quran in his next live. Or the statement that loving your country is great but hating the other country to prove your love for your country is not cool. The movie could have benefited from better editing for sure. Sita Ramam is a clean wholesome love story - a welcome break from the world of sex, crime and violence driven OTT. Good love stories never go out of fashion and humanity always matters! Watch it! #cinema #indiancinema #sitaramam #lovestories #romance #bollywood #dulquersalmaan #mrunalthakur #love #sunshine #bliss

Thar: Visually Impressive Slow-Burn Thriller Infi Thar: Visually Impressive Slow-Burn Thriller Infinite. Parched. Arid. Stunning. Enigmatic. The imposing Rajasthan landscape and sounds of ‘Marusthal' stay on - long after the movie ends! Munabao, a sleepy village in the Thar desert on the Indo-Pad border, comes to life when a barbaric murder is discovered. The local officer Anil Kapoor finally finds some action in his uneventful career. The suspects include an antiques businessman and a Pakistani drug dealer. The movie is set at an unhurried pace but it feels a let down due to a deteriorating screenplay. The great start falls apart when the big reveal is served on a platter, rather than the audience discovering it. The movie is an optical treat with amazing cinematography and great production values. It is a tribute to Western style thriller - saloon like restaurant and direct eulogy to Sholay as well. A giant decaying carcass reminds of the scorched and forgotten land and souls. Anil Kapoor is getting better and better. He shines in the movie with his sheer brilliance - his silence talks impactfully, his eyes express the pain and his body language commands respect and love. Harshvardhan Kapoor’s brief may be to remain monotone but he has to just watch his father deliver an acting masterclass - right in front of him! Satish Kaushik is amazing while Fatima and Mukti show a promise that is not exploited. Anurag Kashyap’s dialogues are smacking. Smokers do not care about caste - plain spoken gems exist in the movie! Overall Raj Singh Chaudhary’s Thar is a movie that could have been a great thriller but deflated by a weak screenplay. Thar - Watch it for the majestic Rajasthan vista and Anil Kapoor’s cracking act! The movie would be a marvellous treat on a big screen! #thriller #netflix #bollywood #indiancinema #thar #tharmovie #tharreview #review #bollywoodreview #anilkapoor
